KEVIN Phillips aims to erase memories of his 'old Wembley' nightmare by helping Albion to glory in the new stadium.

The Baggies hot-shot scored his 22nd goal of the season by grabbing the winner in last night's 1-0 win against Wolves, his sixth goal in three games.

Phillips is now hoping to extend his run at Wembley having scored there for Sunderland in the 1998 play-off final when they drew 4-4 with Charlton only to lose on penalties.

The 33-year-old intends to leave the new arena with happier memories when Albion take on Derby in 11 days time.

"It means everything to me to play at the new Wembley," he said. "Everyone wants to play there. I was lucky enough to play at the old one in a play-off final. I didn't get the result I wanted but it was a hell of a game. Now I've got the chance to play there again.

"I'd love another crack at the Premiership because I feel I can still score goals there and feel fit and fresh."

Phillips hopes to continue his run of form against the Rams after revealing that he has already surpassed his target for this season.

"Goals come and go," he added. "As a centre forward you have hot spells and quiet spells. Luckily this season I have been quite consistent. In the last few games they have come pretty quickly and that puts me on 22 goals now.

"I've reached my target of 20 goals and I'm delighted. We've played Derby twice and won one each. But they mean nothing because it's whoever wants it most on the day. Whoever performs best will win and it's an occasion we're all looking forward to."
